Its about boolean algebra:

for example. Instead of writing p => q we write =>pq or p v q we write vpq etc...

What is this notation called on english language?

Prefix notation, also known as Polish notation (in honor of Jan Łukasiewicz).

Thank you for the information. And did I write these formulas correctly in Polish notation?

1)
((¬p)=>(q v (¬s))) (Standard notation)
(¬p)=>(q v (¬s))
=>(¬p)(q v ¬s)
=>¬pvq¬s (Polish notation)

?

2)
p v ((q \land (¬s)) => p)) (Standard notation)
v p(q \land (¬s)) => p)
v p => (q \land (¬s))
v p => \land q ¬s (Polish notation)

Also did I write these one correctly: (From Polish to Standard notation)

1)
v¬\landvpqrs
v¬\landp v qrs
v¬((p v q) \land r)s
¬((p v q) \land r) v s

2)
\landp¬=>¬qvrs
\landp¬=>¬q(r v s)
\landp¬((¬q) => (r v s))
(p \land (¬((¬q) => (r v s))))

The first one is correct. The rest are completely garbled. Here's a proper rendition of the first garbled expression in latex:

p \lor ((q \land (\neg s)) \Rightarrow p))
p \lor ((q \land (\neg s)) \Rightarrow p))
 
Thanks for the LaTeX info, but it will take me 100 years to write these equations :smile:

Let me do it again (with Unicode characters):

p ⋁ ( (q ⋀ (¬s)) => p)

p ⋁ ( => (q ⋀ (¬s))p)

p ⋁ ( =>⋀q(¬s)p)

⋁ p =>⋀q¬sp

I come back for the same result.

"v" in the post means ⋁ (or)

Are those correct, now? (I fixed the LaTeX)
 
Your version of the second infix expression converted to prefix is correct in post #5 (in post #2 you have v p => q ¬s ; #5 adds a 'p' to the end of this).

Both of you prefix expressions converted to infix look fine.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
